I was reading an article in an On-line PC Magazine where certain companies stage Mock Phishing Attacks in order to monitor how their staff react. It appears that no matter how many security systems companies have in place such as your PC and Mobile devices being securely locked down with a strong complex password when not in use, a cross-device security tool in order to block unwanted traffic on both your PC and Mobile device as well as protecting your sensitive data. There appears to be one weak link irrespective of how good all the security measures are, and unfortunately the Achilles Heel is YOU.

We go to great lengths to physically protect our home with security gates and burglar bars that are strong and sturdy which almost guaranteed once installed to keep burglars OUT and our property securely and safely protected. Some additional security can be included such as electronic beams and alarm systems which will be set off whenever an unwanted intruder try’s to enter our home without our approval.

In both situations the potential intruders will try different methods in order to gain your trust with the aim of obtaining your approval in order to gain access to either your property or your PC and Mobile systems. These criminals are continuously looking for different ways to illegally obtain your possessions, whether they are physical or personal. In both situations we need to be aware that this can and does happen and that we need to be more diligent in who and what we trust.

We need to remember that we are in general the weakest link when it comes to digital security.The tools that we and our companies have in place can guard against known threats and can even identify and block suspicious activity from many unknown threats. But if we click on a malicious link in a phishing scam email, then our security tools are more likely to view the activity as legitimate because we were the ones to initiated it. If you open an attachment from an email that claims to be from the Bank or any other trusted source, and fill in sensitive, personal information as requested, there is little these security tools can do to protect us.
